I became an Expanded Duties Dental Assistant while finishing up high school and when I graduated I worked up front in a dental office.
One day I got to watch the dentist perform a root canal and I was fascinated. I’ve spent the last 20+ years learning and growing as an EDDA and finally had the opportunity to follow my dreams of attending dental hygiene school in Denver. I took my career as far as I could as an EDDA and was still in love with dentistry – 20 years later. So, with a lot of support from my husband and friends, I applied to dental hygiene school. I graduated in 2019 and began my lifelong goal of helping people obtain a beautiful healthy smile.
